My neighbor a couple properties over had a big party and brought a crane in for a killer flag pole!

I’m on a steel rack roll! I bought two vertical material racks over the past year or so. I had few ideas of how to set up in shop, One was to connect them back to back, but when I mocked them up, wasn’t crazy about it. Since I had an adequate supply of casters, I decided to build a sub frame...

Heres my three month update! had a few house projects to get done, my favorite, putting down flooring. Not my favorite project, but this completes the house and wife is happy! So in the shop I finished modifying an engine stand into a cart to store some plate. This allowed me to get it off...

I told my wife hopefully by spend this effort on shutters they won’t be needed for a while!

Here’s one project I worked on in the shop but for the horse barn. When the hurricanes look like their planning on an uninvited visit, we would put up some 2x8s on the openings in the barn. That and 3/4” plywood was getting to be a pain to put up, so I bought some used galvanized shutter. i...

Wow, been a while since posting. Done a bit around here but nothing over interesting. Shower remodel in-house. Picked up a Lista cab at the Flywheelers show, mounted some new casters, did the Cbacres drawer bearing clean and lube and now starting to prep for painting. This will be my cab for...

Hey! That’s the secret annex! 🤣

Thanks for the u ****. It was a lucky find. Bob, we buy casters in bulk! Over the years we’ve come across listings for quantities of casters and usually make a deal to buy all, generally dropping the cost per caster. It’s nice to have matching casters so cabs match. Think I’ve only bought...

Well, get to mounting them!🤣

Appreciate the offer, it was just one of those things that day!

I’ve been passing a Goodwill store near a couple of my job sites for over a year and decided to take a look. Well, where did you expect it to end up? This new to me fully welded steel table got the caster treatment. To the couple of members that harass me about all the casters I buy, this...

Moved most of my welding stuff to this wall. The grey drawer cab has most of my welding stuff, some grinder wheels. The tall grey to the left holds my shields and weld jackets. In moving my press to new area, which is 9” higher than old shop, i had a little fight with the press castors and it...

Bob, great to hear from you. Can’t stop now, gotta take advantage of it being slow at work, besides I just want to get the main parts in place so I can figuire out the sea of small stuff! I‘ll celebrate when the after pictures show a substantial difference from the before pictures. I also have...

Started moving equipment over. Going slow as I decided to clean up each piece as it went in. If I don’t do it now, likely won’t get done for a while. My most used is the DP and the bandsaw, these two may get swapped around. The cabinet sand blaster may end up elsewhere. Planning on steel...
